As AI and automation reshape the workplace, how do we make sure people stay at the center of it all? In this episode of Return on Insights, Erin Abbatangelo sits down with executive coach and global people leader Susy Martins—whose career spans GE, 3M, and beyond—to tackle this urgent question.
Susy shares her perspective on the biggest shifts happening right now: from AI-driven recruitment that can both streamline and sideline, to the challenges of keeping remote teams truly connected. She introduces fresh approaches like “try before you buy” hiring—short-term projects that help both companies and candidates find an authentic fit—and unpacks the ethical side of tech adoption.
Packed with practical advice on communication, adaptability, and leading with empathy, this episode offers a roadmap for anyone looking to future-proof their career or build a people-first workplace in the AI era.
